Zingers or Twinkies have never been my favorites until Hostess went defunct and then of course I was wanting what I can't have. I went on a Hostess snack cake hunt and what I found was shocking. Of course you can get anything for a price and boy were these pricey. So the same box of Zingers and Twinkies that I could have gotten six months ago for $2.99 were now available almost 10x that price. YIKES!!!!!
Zingers - 12 pack - $23.33
Hostess Cupcakes - $27.77
Now the word on the street is the Hostess brand has been bought by another company. The new company will produce Hostess product under the name The New Hostess brand and will start to produce Twinkies and Ho Ho by the end of May. So I guess I will have to wait for my fill of Zingers and Twinkies until then.
Well this was the last of the letters for the A to Z challenge. I am happy and at the same time sad that its over. So until next year.

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Zingers but I thought my brother told me last time I went up to NY that Drakes was going out of business. Imagine no more Devil Dogs or Coffee Cakes? What a sin!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your blog very much throughout the challenge! Well done! And congrats for finishing!

ReplyDeleteI also never heard of Zingers, but I'll be looking for them at the end of May to try them!
